St. Francis and the Foolishness of God: Revised Edition 2 Revised edition

Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.; Retelling the most significant events in the life of St. Francis along with social and theological reflections for today, the authors, Catholic and Protestant, present a new picture of the ever-popular saint. Francis' way speaks most loudly to those who long to do something about inequality and poverty, about consumerism and spiritual emptiness. His spirituality combines the mystical and the earthly, liberation and faithfulness, literal poverty as well as the blessed poverty of the spirit. For everyone who has been touched by St. Francis, this book will deepen that understanding and provide a new perspective on his enduring legacy.
